In San Francisco, we too often allow for endless appeals and delays that prevent us from making positive change in our community. To be blunt: we allow ourselves to get in our own way.

Allowing for public input is a good thing. Bureaucracy, endless red tape, and allowing for every change relating to housing or small businesses to be appealed is not. Let's expand our small business streamlining legislation and create a system that encourages new housing.

This week: 20 new homes on a vacant site, which will now be delayed for months. This is not how we should respond to a housing crisis.https://hoodline.com/2019/11/outer-sunset-residents-file-appeal-over-toxic-pre-apocalyptic-20-unit-apartment-building …

Years of work, dozens of community meetings, unanimous approval by the Planning Department, and unanimous approval by the Board of Supervisors. Met with another appeal. We need fundamental reforms to allow for new homes to be built.https://www.sfchronicle.com/local-politics/article/Laurel-Heights-neighbors-sue-to-stop-massive-SF-14956540.php …

Speaking of housing that’s not being built, what’s going on at Geary and Masonic? Lucky Penny has been shut down for years now.

@SupStefani What’s going on at Geary/Masonic? It’s just an extra parking lot for Trader Joe’s. I’d prefer the extra housing.https://hoodline.com/2018/02/special-use-district-proposed-for-geary-masonic-development …

I totally agree with you! Neighbors have way too much power to deter construction. Neighbors do not have the city’s best interest in mind, only their own. It’s time to change city laws now.

Ridiculous to try to solve "the housing crisis" by focusing on housing in the most expensive in America to live in. Make housing affordable by building it in affordable places. And do not pretend that the homeless crisis is a housing issue. It's a drug problem.pic.twitter.com/j0NPy2HMtD
